CHANGING THE LIVES OF WOMEN SINCE 1914

Mary Elizabeth Inn seeks to continue the legacy

of our founder by providing a safe place to live

free of violence.


Having remained true to this mission since our opening,

Mary Elizabeth Inn remains San Francisco's

only affordable and safe housing option for many women.

"What Can I do to help, if Money Were No Object?"

That is the question Mrs. Lizzie Glide posed to a

group of women in San Francisco, and they

responded with the desire for a safe and

affordable place to live. Mrs. Glide proceeded

to use her personal resources to build a

residential facility for women in need.

Our Legacy Continues

Established for the sole purpose of serving

women in need, Mary Elizabeth Inn continues

its mission to end the cycle of poverty for

homeless and abused women by providing

affordable housing and supportive services in

two historic buildings in San Francisco.

OUR MISSION

To end the cycle of poverty and homelessness for women in the bay area and empowering women across all life's stages to achieve self-sufficiency and security.
